Crashing

Everytime I play It crashes it’s so sad I would love to play

Perfect Game Combo

Loving this game and the addition of traditional chess. Rider here - I am involved with the game - but also I end up playing it everyday just for fun. Reached my bronze laurels. Gets super competitive- Need to brush up my chess. Hope many will give it a go.

Love the game!

Cracking game and an amazing concept. Love it. As a poker player predominately who plays a little bit of chess it’s a great game - as it’s a brilliant leveller to help weaker chess players like me equalise our chances with a fun gamble! Love it.

Good game that could be great

Fantastic idea, almost perfectly implemented. Very fun and well designed. Both chess and poker skills matter, which I didn’t expect. I have two qualms. First, there is a lot of downtime between hands. The game makes a big deal of telling you what happened in the previous hand, then takes a couple seconds to bet and a couple seconds to deal. This creates an unnecessary lag between hands, and slows the game down. Second, I think that opening antes rise too quickly and without enough warning. I have won/lost many games where one player is dealt bad cards four-five times in a row, folds each time, and then just loses the game. Given the amount of variance in poker, I think that number should be a bit higher. Besides these small issues, it’s a great game that any fan of chess or poker should try.

Fix The Glitches!

The concept is incredible, and it’s a wonderful game, but the app is unplayable. It’s so laggy I can’t do it on my phone, and have to do it on my iPad. You also can’t queue a game without it booting you out of the game or force stopping. Basically every action you try to take results in getting kicked. Also, please please please add more chess sets, the default one is atrocious. Make the game less heavy, and fix getting kicked when doing anything and it’s an immediate 5 star review from me.

I also bought the pack with the extra set because I hate the default one so much, and it took my money and then crashed without giving me the pack, so I’m double upset about that

Surprisingly good

I’m a keen chess player and really enjoy the added dimension of poker. I won’t be giving up chess but I’m definitely hooked on Choker.

Brilliant but buggy

The game is brilliant!!

The concept is amazing, the poker side top notch.

When more users join it should become an option to choose time control!

But after losing some tokens (oops) I had either the option for 2K or 3K when a partner is found and I press accept the game freezes before crashing. Every time. Tried it with 2K and 3K.

Also please make a table top version
